Im new here but this is what I have gotten so far at Wrigley and Miller this year.

4/5/08
Just got back from Miller Park, here is what I got,
Barry Zito 3 cards (1 for Mauer7)
Derrick Turnbow 2 cards
David Riske 3 cards, 1 is badly smudged.
1 ROMLB with Gabe Gross, Derrick Turnbow, and 1 Im not sure of (I think it is Kapler)
SS ROMLB of Manny Parra
And last but not least,

Ryan Braun SP ROMLB
13 autos total, my next trip is tomorrow, Cubs v. Astros.

4/6/08
Today, Cubs v. Astros,
Mark DeRosa 1/8 card
Ron Santo 2/2 cards
Bob Howry 1.5/20 card (bubbled/smeared, I hate Topps), started another then stopped when traffic started moving.

Also Dickweed of the day is a tie, Kerry Wood and Hunter Pence can share the award. When I was trying to get Wood on mauers SI I let someone borrow my blue sharpie. When Kerry was leaving he still had it in his mouth. I asked for it back and he threw it at me, cap off, and now I have blue sharpie on my sweatshirt. Im going to let Hunter in on the award just for being a tool in general.

5/31/08
Today at Wrigley, only 3, 2 8x10s and a ball
Micah Hoffpauir 8x10
Mike Fontenot 8x10
Reed Johnson SP GU ROMLB

Reed was the only one that signed at the fence. Fukudome, Marmol, Soto, and A-Ram all left in a swarm. Got waved off by Pinella and Scott Eyre, AKA 2008's Will Ohman, Neal Cotts, and Theriot. Santo said he wasnt signing. Had to chase down Micah to get my 8x10 signed. Fontenot only signed 1. Pointed to me, I handed him the photo and he left. Didnt see Edmonds leave. Brew Crew v. Astros manana.

6/1/08
Well, it was Ryan Braun bobblehead today, every fan in attendance got a bobblehead, also there were 5,000 "throwback" bobbleheads. Started off good when I got a throwback one. Graphing though was piss-poor to say the best. The foulines were packed. I got in a King Fielder was signing. I was trying to get my Sporting News signed but he wouldnt do photos or mags. Just SP baseballs and cards. My brother got him on MY Moments & Milestones card. Salomon Torres, Carlos Villanuava and Brian Shouse also signed but had nothing for them and Carlos wouldnt SS. Outside was worse, only 1 player signed, Jeff Suppan, I only had 1 card which I got signed. Yost and the coaches signed, wasnt interested. Security was stepped up a notch and I wasnt able to get to the intersection to get anyone leaving. I left before Hall and Weeks came out.

6/12/08
Today Braves v. Cubs

2/2 Brian McCann cards
1/1 Jeff Francoeur card

Brian McCann got out of a cab with someone who looked almost identical to him. (Blaine Bowyer I think) Francoeur signed for everyone, class act also signing SS. Tim Hudson signed but I didnt have anything for him, kind of forgot he was with them. I brought 1 ball, which I was saving for Chipper, who I didnt see come in and signed 3 inside the stadium as he was leaving from what I heard. A few no-names signed pre-game. Didnt really get a shot at the Cubs.


Going down to the Cubs vs. Sox game Sat. then a Marmol app. in Wheeling, Sun. it will be back to Cubs/Sox.
